So I finally got around to reading my friends blogs, and what do you know I was tagged to answer some questions. Now this is a way to get my personal blog back up now that I am a housewife by occupation :) So here we go!

1. What is your life verse (or quote)?I don't think I have a favorite life quote, but I have a favorite song lyric, "I never kissed somebody so that they would break me heart." ~ Lisa Loeb

2. What is your favorite book, other than the Bible?My favorite book is anything The Cinderella Rules

3. What is the most frugal thing that you do?I had a sucker for breakfast. Does that count?

4. What is your favorite tip for staying organized?Organized? What is that?? One tip is don't do what I do!

5. What is your favorite pair of jeans?My American Eagle Jeans. I think I have accumulated like 6 pairs, all but 3 have holes, but I love them so much!

6. What was your first date with your spouse/significant other? How did you meet? {two for one}Our first official date was to El Azteca in Ames. We met because two of our friends who are brother and sister, introduced us. The rest is history.

7. What was your favorite book when you were a kid?My favorite book was called Ever After. It is about a girl who is going through typical life changes. It was awesome.So, I dont know how to tag people to this, so I am just going to leave this as my post. I am getting ready to go volunteer at the kids halloween party on base. I am dressing up as a cute mad scientist. I know that doesnt make sense but I am wearing black and pink, and lots of glitter!!

So I officially wasted a day. I think i needed it though. Tomorrow, will be a super super cleaning day. I have this month to get the house together. I am so nervous. I HATE cleaning. I will need all the help I can get. Motivation is key to me, and I don't quite have the motivation to keep it clean. I guess it will look nice. I can't wait for my second half to come back so we can split the responsibilities again!

I booked my flight back home to Minnesota this June. I am in a wedding, and it is going to be a blast! My most innocent friend in the entire world is marrying the perfect man. Ann is a sweetheart and I have known her since high school. We spent many weekends crafting things up in the kitchen, on the sewing machine, and even the tye dye department. We were two nerdy girls, who stayed out of trouble by being friends. When we went to college we went our separate ways. She headed to a private christian school, where I went to a state college. Iowa State changed my life (in so many good ways). But I will save that for another post. Ann was one of my two personal attendants at my wedding (If I could have more bridesmaids, she would have been one). Now I get to be a bridesmaid in her wedding, and I am super excited!

Today I did some investigating on the Alaskan cruisetour we are going to be going on this summer (that is if my husband can get off work). It will be our official honeymoon. Don't worry and don't freak out either, because that doenst mean we are going to start having children. It just means that we are going to have to wait a little more time till that happens. We are going to watch all of our friends have kids, then we are are going to have our later.

So I have my new favorite candle smell (and its not a cookie!!), Napa Valley Harvest!! It is amazing, fruity but at the same time classic. My house is now a classy place, a little alcoholic ish, but delicious. I guess I could say its grapey, but so yummy! Just soo many words describe the smell. I wish I could just post a scratch and sniff button, but instead you will need to go to Yankee Candle and smell the goods yourself.

Life has been so busy. Plans are constantly changing, work seems to be getting super busy, I have to keep up with my social life, and clean this house I can't seem to keep clean... ah, life. Crazyness. I think I need like a week to myself. No work. No people. I think I should just turn off my phone for a couple of days. Maybe I will, but I need the alarm clock. hm. I wish I could take a week, and just blah with my life. Clean, organize, play, get back to my real self.

Who is my real self? Who am I and what do I like to do for fun? Am I still the same person I was 5 years ago? What have I done with that person? Do I like the person I am now?

What are my life goals? Who do I want to be? Why am I not suprised anymore when someone calls me to tell me they are pregnant? Should I be more happy for them? Is life all about having kids?

I have come to the decision that I live for my husband. He is my best friend. Without him, I don't know who I would be. When he is not around, I am not myself. I look forward to growing old with him. Every moment we share together is always a good time. Whether we are just sitting on the couch trying to figure out what to watch on tv, or in the middle of nowhere lost and and out of gas. I love him with all my heart and I could have never asked for anyone better.

for some reason I think that I can actually have a blog. But honestly, this is not true. I do not ever know what to say, and half the things I want to say, I can't so why do I do this. It is now February. Four months since my last post, and i feel like it has been only a few weeks. I have been so busy. I am trying to keep myself busy so time will go by, but I think I have over done myself.

I really hate being by myself. I have always loved having people around. I go crazy without people. For that reason alone, I find myself busy. Its weeks like this preparing for company, that I wish I had more time. More time to get it together. More time to sleep. More time to not wake up at 4 in the morning, and go to bed by 9. I use my weekends to catch up on sleep, but I cant do it too much or I wont get up on Mondays. It sucks. Weekly I have found that I put almost 500 miles on my car, and am in my car for at least 2 hours a day (making that 10 hours a week) --- and that is only driving to work. I can't take naps (they make me cranky my mom says).

Anyways. boring. i know. I am watching the olympics. I thought I would be watching the opening ceremony, but apparently that happened while I was at work. Now I get to watch ski jumping --- yawn. I am also not hungry, which is odd because I love food. I do not know how excited I am yet about the Olympics only being a few hours from our house. I guess once people get into town it will be all crazy.

Oh guess what! I get to watch the opening ceremony. I think, that is what the tv said, but how come its on in MN two hour earlier, when the olympics are in MY TIME ZONE!! (and 2 hours away!) ok - im going to watch, and go to bed in a hour. outta here.

About Me

I am a stay at home wife, married since June 2008. I worked for a few years, and then I was able to stay home and enjoy my life before we start trying to have a family in a few more years. I have a BS in Child & Family Services from Iowa State University, and am working on being a fabulous housewife now. I love scrapbooking, geocaching, taking pictures, and spending time with family and friends.
